I don't want to sound like I am bashing my school but there really isn't much to do. Maybe around town you might want to go check out the recreational center, or maybe check out the Carlsbad caverns.

Food and Dining

There really isn't much you can do at New Mexico State University-Carlsbad. On the college campus you can go to the book store and find a snack or something when your hungry but that's about it. If you go around town then your options for food get bigger.

Dorm Life

Sadly since New Mexico State University-Carlsbad is a community college no dorms are to be available. I was looking forward to the college dorm life too. But independent housing is available, the college isn't far from town so there should be no trouble getting to class on time.

This is my first time going to college and what can say is that when I found myself paying actual attention I began to learn. Once you focus on your studies it gets a lot easier. Trust me if I can do it you can do it too.

Tips for prospective students

If you are registering for classes that are prerequisites for a program, make sure that you double check you are taking the right classes with someone from the program. Not everyone in Student Services knows exactly what they are talking about.

In three sentences

A small friendly campus. Students feel welcome here, and do not feel swallowed up among the thousands of other students. It's a good choice for students who want their college experience to feel personal.

This school is not very rigorous at all. I was a B student in high school and I have all A's in my classes. Teachers do not give a lot of homework but the homework they do give, amounts for a lot of your grade.

Tips for prospective students

I would advise prospective students to take advantage of all the teachers' office times, and get help before you are failing a class. Also, there are many tutoring services one can take advantage of.

In three sentences

The campus is really small, yet it still provides a college atmosphere. The teachers are very nice, and are always willing to help their students. It is like any other college, but is actually a junior college.
